For the sleep deprived: Bose Sleepbuds

Bose Sleepbuds block and mask sound to help you sleep through snoring, loud neighbors and city noises. Bose Sleepbuds block noise in two ways. First, the soft silicone ear tips and stabilizers passively block sound. Just lowering the overall volume, though, isn’t enough because it’s the change in noise levels that wakes us. So, the Sleepbuds also smooth out ambient noise levels by playing sound-masking soundtracks. These soothing tracks are designed to absorb the frequencies in common disruptions like snoring, so you can sleep through them. Give your partner the gift of a better night's sleep. Find out more about how the Bose Sleepbuds work.

Yes, the fact that the LG ZeroG Bluetooth speaker floats is awesome, but the levitation also serves a purpose, enabling the speaker to provide a more immersive, 360-degree sound with enough power to fill a room. Plus, the base doubles as a subwoofer for deep, rich sound. Find more nerdy gift ideas.

For the beauty lover: Foreo UFO

The Foreo UFO sheet mask applicator can knock more than eight minutes off the process of applying a sheet mask and elevates the experience to a spa treatment (see it in action). The device uses heat, cooling, light and sonic pulses to speed up the process of effectively applying a mask in a fraction of the usual time. It's the perfect addition to any beauty lover's toolkit.

For the home chef: Anova Sous Vide Precision cooker

Sous vide is a cooking method in which food is sealed in a plastic pouch, submerged in water, and then cooked to a precise temperature. When done with the Anova Sous Vide Precision, food is perfectly cooked every time. The cooker provides the perfect entree into this fun method of cooking.

For the frequent traveler: Travelpro Crew 11

Pixel 3

From Tony Albert on December 14, 2018 :: 6:36 am

Still never had a Nexus/Pixel device yet despite changing phones. I’m at the point now where I just want a simpler software experience like I had on my basic phone. The vision issues let me know I need bigger screen I’m already saving for the pixel 3 this year. Really hope they add wireless charging. As a senior I planned to get any of the Verizon flip phones for seniors
but when trying this phone, I find out that is easy for me to handle it.
